Before a large crowd Jack Williams otherwise the Human Fly climbed from the sidewalk to the roof of the John Andrews building on Main street last night and by way of an added at- traction climbed the flag pole. The collection, like the climber, was skin- ny. Starting with the small pillars which support the front of the builld- ing the “Human Fly's” long, wirey fingers found a hand hold and as he was going upwards at the bottom of the second story fresh paint made the going over of the projecting cornice a rather slippery task but those gor- illa like muscles that have come to the aid of the Human Fly in mary a tight place pulled him over without any great amount of difficulty. The climb from there to the top floor the Hu- man Fly performed with perfect ease although to an ordinary person the e teat représented an impossibili- y. Going over the cornice at the ex- treme top of the building was the most dangerous of the whole climb, In view of the darkness this was made all the more dangerous. At the top floor the Human Fly drew drew himself up underneath the cor- nice, then his hand shot out once. It chief of the Russian army in succes- sion to Gen. Korniloff. The Petrograd correspondent of Reuter’s, telegraphing on Tuesday at midnight, says that the capital re- mains calm, the population awaiting events, and only the display of armed forces in the streets indicates an ab- normal situation. Government Com- missioner Philoninko at the head- quarters of the commander-in-chief, who was arrested by Gen. Korniloff, has been released -and has returned to Petrograd. Legal proceedings, the despatch says, has been begun against Gen. Korniloff. Minister of Agricul- ture Tchernoff has resigned in order not to create difficulties for Premier Kerensky on his account. The garri- son at Kronstadt has place: ftself at the disposal of the Petrograd council of soldiers and workmen's delegates. Mmtnry Dictatorship Neocessary. London, Sept. 12.—Leslie Urghart, one of the most prominent mining and oil engineers in Russia, who has just arrived here, in an interview in the Daily Mail today says: “I have faith is Russia. I have known the country more than 20 years and she will pull through. Whether Gen. Korniloff will prove the savior of society I carhot tell, but of this I am sure, a military dicta- torship has got to come.” After paying a tribute to Gen. Kor- niloff as “at least a man of action, Mr. Urghart asserts there are im- mense risks and un-compensating gains for the Germans in a further advance on Petrograd, even if the time of the year and the character of the country permitted. . Russia, he said, is tired of war just like all the belligerents but is not tired enough to make a separate peace. He added: “I can say with absolute confildence that the whole Russian people would be dead against A sparate peace and would make short work of any one who attempted to negotiate it.” Mr. Urqhart characterized Premier Kerensky as “an honest visionary. At the bottom he is a talker, and little else. Premier Kerensky is afraid of the council of workmen’s and soldiers , flelegates, which is a self-constituted brganization of idealists, theorists, anarchists and syndicalists with hard- ly any working men or soldiers among them. Some of them ‘are known to be in German pay. Their ideas of discipline not only have ruined the army, but all Russian industrialists.” Ex-Grand Dukes Taken From City. ‘Y Petrograd, Sept. 12.—The news- papers here announced today that by order of the government Bx-Grand Dukes Michael Alexandrovitch and Paul Alexandrovitch have been trans- ferred from their private residence at Gatchina, near Petrograd, to the ministry of the interior. FEx-Grand Duke Michael Alexan- *drovitch is a brother of the deposed emperor. When the impevial re- glme was overthrown on March 15 Emperor Nicholas designated Grand Duke Michael as regent, but he in turn abdicated on the following day. Last week the former Grand Duke was arrested in connection with the of a counter-revolutionary “ plot. Ex-Grand Duke Paul Alexandro- vitch is an uncle of the former em- peror. Kerensky Cabimet Optimistic. ‘Winter Palace, Petrograd, Sept. 11. ——While unable yet to report the final overthrow of General Korniloff, mem- bers of the Ru n provisional go ernment in conversation with the Asso t.ciated Press this evening summed up the situation optimistically The new commander-in-chief of the Russian armies, Major General Bonch- (Continued on Eleventh Page) missed and it seemed that the daring young man would be dashed to death on the pavement below, but those fingers, never failing him for & mom- ent, caught. When he was still under- neath the cornice, men who were in the top floor of the bullding asked him to quit. He only smiled and again his body shot upward and outward. Should he have missed the cornice nothing but death could have result- ed but on the contrary his fingers gripped the very edge and with barely the tips of his fingers gripping, his body began to swing back and forth like the pendulum on a clock. One foot came up even with his head, it caught on the edge of the cornice and with a mighty heave his body ‘was thrown over the edge to safety amid a cheer from the crowd. Owing to an error in arrangements the Boy Scouts wers unable to take up the collection which for such an exhibition as Willlams gives was very poor. This however, was not due to the economical character of the <rowd but on account of not having enough solicitors. Hundreds were un- able to find a place to put their nick- els and dimes for the soldiers’ to- ‘bacco fund. The Human Fly will climp the Porter building tonight at 6 p. m., rain or shine, and a much larger collection is expected. The re- celpts for the tobacco fund last night amounted to $13,44. Money in the tobacco fund now in possession of the Herald amounts to more than $100. Among contributors announced today are Prosecuting At- torney George W. Klett, $5; K. B. Stone, $1; Edwin W. Abbe, $5; Peter ; and Herald Publishing Co., TOPKINS & ALLEN TANGLE Decision Expected Today Regarding Disposal of Norwich Arms Plant— U. S. May Get It. Hartford, Sept. 12—What to do with the gun making plant of the Hop- kins & Allen Arms Co. in Norwich was discussed at a long conference between lawyers and Judge Thomas in the United States district court today. The company is in a receivership and the receivers want an order of sale, which will mean the purchase of the plant by the Marlin-Rockwell Arms Co. A committee of the Hopkins & Allen stockholders want time to raise more money—a half million dollars or more—to go on with the plant and finish the contract for making rifles for the Belgian government. The United States government is" inter- ested in the plant as an admirable place for the making of machine guns, and certain creditors threaten to fore- clase mortgages if the plant is not sold, A decision today seems uncertain. MONUMENT DEALERS FINED. Baltimore, Sept. 12.—Seventeen members of the national retail monu- ment dealers association were fined today by Judge John C. Rose in the U. 8. district court here in addition to a fine of $2,500 imposed upon as- sociation.

The individual fines ranged from $1,000 down to $5 each. HAT MAKERS FINED. Danbury, Sept. 12.—In the court this afternoon, Jeremiah, ficer of a hatters’ organiz fined $60 and costs, and William O. Merson, employed in one of the newly started “‘open” shops here, was fined £10 and costs, each on charges of as- sault and breach of the peace grow- ing out of an encounter near a local | factory last Saturday. Russian Government in Full Ac- cord With Germany, His Claim SEES DISASTER AHEAD Rebel Leader Calls on People “to Save Perishing Russia” and to Pray to God For Miracle to Save Nation —Expects No Personal Reward. Petrograd, Sept. 11.—The texts of Gen. Korniloff's proclamations are published here today. The first, dated &t Mohilev, denounces Premier Ker- ensky’s description of Viadimir Lvoff's mission as untrue and declares that Korniloff did not send Lvoff to Ker- ensky, but that Kerensky first sent Lvoff to him with the aim to create trouble. “Russian men,’ continues the proc- lamation ‘“‘our great fatherland is pe: ishing. The government, under pres- sure of thc Bolsheviki majority the councils, is acting in full acce with the plans of the German Overwhelming consciousness of the impending ruin of the fatherland compels me in this menacing moment to summon all Russian men to save perishing Russia. All in whose breasts beat Russian hearts, all who | believe in God, let them flock to the temple and pray God to perform: a great miracle, the miracle of saving the fatherland. “I, Gen. Korniloff, son of a peasant and cossack, declare to all that I re- quire nothing personally, nothing ex- cept the salvation of mighty Russia; and I swear to lead the nation by the road of revolutionary over the foe to a constituent assembly through which the nation will decide its own fate and chooke the organization of its own political life. But I shall never be- tray Russta into the hands of its tra- ditional foe, the German race, or make the Russian people the slaves of Germany. I prefer to die on the fleld of honor and battle rather than to witness the shame and infamy of Rus- sian land. “Russian people, in your own hands rests the fate of your country. (Signed) “KORNILOFF."” In the second proclamation, Gen. Korniloff declares that he is support- ed by all of the higher commanders on the front, denounces the govern- ment for incapacity, weakness and in- decision, and declares that, in order to veil its unfitness, the government is creating the chimera of a non-existont <counter-revolution.

London, Sept. 12.—Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, speaking at a luncheon given by the Empire Parliamentry association to Medill McCormick, congress-at-large for Illinois, said: “In everything connected with the military arm 'the German has shown remarkable resources, even but in dealing with questions of diplo- macy they have repeatedly made mis- takes which have been the salvation of the Entente allies. No mistake they have made will be so great in its con- sequences as that which drove the United States into the war. “The Germans lately,” Mr. Bonar Law continued, “have been saying that the Entente was relying. on the Uni- ted States as their last hope. I want to say to you that we do rely on the United States. ‘‘As chancellor of the exchequer I am ready to say to you now what I should have been sorry to have had to say six months ago, namely, that without the United States’ financial assistances the Allies would have been in disastrous straits today. “Perhaps I may be excused from' speaking’ of the Russian situation ex- cept to say how much we sympathize with Russia in her time of anguish, and that we hope she yet may be able to render us assistance in the great cause for which the American people, llke us are people of hard, practical sense and realize that the war now has become largely a ques- tion of nerves, endurance and staying power. Thank God, we of England and America have those qualities and shall see this thing through to vie- tory. ‘“We have two special reasons,” the chancellor said, “for satisfaction at the coming in of the United States. Tirst, (it is the best possible proof righteous, and second we know we now have on our side resources which are more than sufficient to achiéve victory. _.The United States possesses the greatest wealth and resources of any nation in the world. Moreover, as a nation they have shown inventive genius and adaptability which they must inevitably apply successfully to the prosccution of the war.” PAINLEVE FAILS TO FORM NEW CABINET May Make ‘Another Attempt to Secure Ministry for France. Paris, Sept. 12.—Paul Painleve, minister of war has announced that he has been unable to form a new ministry to succeed that of M. Ribot, on account of an eleventh hour with- drawal of the socialists, Albert Thomas and M. Varenne. M. Painleve went to the Elysee Palace at 1 o’clock this morning. where he was joined by M. Bourgeoise, other statesmen with whom he had conferred awaiting him at the minis- try of war. He returned within an ’hour and announced to newspaper men that President Poincare had in- sisted that he continued his efforts to form a cabinet and that he had asked for time to think over the situation. It is understood that Prof. Pain- leve will again try to construct a ministry. Prof. Painleve's first combination proved even more abortive than did that of M. Ribot, the stirring premier, 1 and collapsed from the same cause, namely, the exigencies of the social- ists. What these exigencies are s not exactly known. PRESIDENT AT OLD LYME.

The committee, the report says, be- lieves the draft law is constitutional and that every man drafted into the National Army can be used abroad. “The situation arising out of this spirit of opposition to the selective draft act is serious,” says the report, “and taken in connection with the un- rest amongst the civillan population, growing out of the commercial and industrial conditions, stimulated in some cases doubtless by pro-German sympathizers and propagandists, places our country in a situation of extreme peril at a time when AH should be united in a common cause. “It is the view of the committee that the selective draft act is neither violative of American tradition nor of the constitution, and, entertaining this view, the committee feels justified in saying that there is no necessity for such legislation as that proposed either on the ground of expediency or necessity. The psycological effect of calling In question an act, the prin- ciples of which it seems to the com- mittee, have been sustained by the courts, is bad, and the tendency of it all is to impair the military effl- ciency of the men who are already in the service and of those who may vet be called to serve In this time of need."” Propose to Draft Aliens.
